San Francisco: Missing man returns a week after social networking app meeting
A 22-year-old man in San Francisco has resurfaced having been missing for a week after meeting a stranger on a social networking app before the city’s pride celebrations.
The search for Evan Flanary attracted attention both in mainstream San Franciscan press and around the world after he disappeared on 19 June.
He had gone missing after meeting a stranger on a social networking app. The police have not named the app, but the popular gay blog Towleroad said it was assumed by many to have been Grindr or a similar system when it put out a call to help find him. Some media reports described Mr Flanary as being gay, though this has not been confirmed.
Mr Flanary’s mother, who spearheaded the campaign to find her son, said today he had gone missing for nearly a week after hitting it off “fabulously” with the person he met on the app and enjoying the pride weekend with a flat battery in his phone.
